Unit 3 Period 5 Writing & Presenting ideas 新 课 导 入 What do you know about Yang Jingyu? 课 堂 学 习 1 Read the introduction to Yang Jingyu and answer the questions. Yang Jingyu, an anti-Japanese hero, was born in Henan Province in 1905. He joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1927. In 1937 Yang became leader of the North-east Anti-Japanese United Army and fought a guerrilla war against the Japanese invaders. In 1938, the Japanese army offered a large sum of money for Yang’s head and a large number of troops surrounded his men. In early 1940, facing a critical lack of supplies, Yang decided to let his men break through in small groups, but his own section of 60 men was betrayed to the Japanese. After these men were killed, Yang fought on alone for five days. He was eventually tracked down on 23 February by a large unit of Japanese troops. He killed more than 20 Japanese soldiers before dying in a hail of machine gunfire. When the Japanese cut open his body, they discovered only tree bark, cotton and grass roots, but not a single grain of rice in his stomach. Yang’s death was a huge blow to his loyal troops, but they turned sorrow into anger and continued to fight fiercely against the invaders. After the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was established, Yang was reburied with full military honours, in Tonghua, Jilin Province. 1 Who was Yang Jingyu? 2 Why did Yang decide to let small groups of his men break through the encirclement? 3 What did the Japanese find when they killed Yang? 4 How would you describe Yang’s spirit in your own words? Yang Jingyu was an anti-Japanese hero, who died in a fight against Japanese troops. Because at that time there was a critical lack of supplies. They found only tree bark, cotton and grass roots, instead of rice in his stomach. structure and content of the passage Paragraph 1 Name of the person and background information Paragraph 2 Yang Jingyu's major events (in order) Introduction Main body Paragraph 3 The author's opinion
